That means each working person is being asked to cover the costs of almost 0.9 people collecting benefits. Even if you assume the % collecting benefits is only 60%, then 47% are paying for 32%. Each working person is still being asked to cover the costs of almost 0.7. Is it any wonder we have $1+ trillion budget deficit?
